Dear
Colleagues and Friends,
On
behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my great pleasure and honor to
welcome you to the
8th International Congress on Stem Cell Biology and
Technology, which is held in conjunction with the 13th Congress on
Reproductive Biomedicine (Royan International Twin Congresses), September
5-7,
2012.
Royan Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Technology (RI-SCBT) as
one of premier institutes conducting researches on Stem Cells is continually pursuing the aim to enhance research and
development of stem cells and developmental biology for improvements in
regenerative medicine. Therefore, RI-SCBT would like to give the opportunity
for stem cell and biology scientists as well as physicians to debate and
exchange their findings in a scientific and energetic atmosphere. To meet this
goal, since 2005, we have annually held this scientific meeting.
The increasing number of participants and
submitted articles during this event indicates the progression of stem cells
among basic and clinic professions. Each year about 2000 participants,
including enthusiastic young researchers and principal investigators from Iran
as well as internationally, participate in this annual event. Moreover,
internationally renowned expert scientists in stem cells research discuss their
achievements during this program.
I encourage you to join us for the
8th International Congress on Stem Cell Biology and
Technology held from September 5-7,
2012.
I am convinced that this meeting will provide participants with unique
experiences such as cultural encounters with Iranian tradition and history, as
well as exchanges of the latest scientific knowledge in stem cells research
(biologists and physicians) from the scientific world.
Hope
to see you in Tehran, Iran

Dear Friends and
Colleagues,
We are delighted to welcome you to Royan International Twin
Congresses, the 13th Congress on Reproductive
Biomedicine and 8th Congress on Stem Cell Biology and
Technology, in Tehran, September 5-7,
2012.
The Royan scientific meeting is always an outstanding annual
event divided into two main sections:1)”Reproductive Biomedicine” and 2)
“Stem Cell Biology and Technology”. We will have plenary sessions,
symposia, poster sessions, and workshops addressing the latest researches
on reproductive biomedicine. In our opinion, the best chance for
accomplishing a satisfactory outcome is to integrate research findings
into practical and clinical applications. This will have promising results
for the future treatment of infertility as well as incurable or hard-to-cure
diseases.
I would like to take the opportunity to introduce the
department of Reproductive Imaging, which has recently been
established. This department offers clinical services and educational
training courses, while applying modern modalities such as different types
of sonography, three-dimensional sonohysterography (3D-SIS) and virtual
hysterosalpingography for female infertility management in addition to
Doppler ultrasound and interventional radiology for male infertility
management. We hope that by sharing and exchanging scientific knowledge
and clinical experiences among the Iranian scientists and their
international colleagues, this congress can help ameliorate treatment in
the most difficult situations of infertility.
Our scientific program relies on your contributions and new
researches. We look forward to receiving your abstracts in all aspects
from the reproductive biomedicine and reproductive
imaging.
The local organizing committee will do their best to make
you feel welcome and ensure that you remember the twin congress as a
special event, from a scientific as well as a social point of view. This
Congress could also be an extraordinary opportunity to enjoy the unique
history, rich culture and beautiful natural scenery of
Iran.
